Thanks for your help -- I went to the link and saw that I'm not alone on this. See at: https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?topic=12099.0

A new version of the wallet is coming out this week. Maybe that will fix it.

Thanks again,

Thanks for the reply. I did send a small amount of btsx to the bitshares wallet as a test. Coinport accepted the transaction instantly, but the amount never showed up in the wallet. Now the wallet won't open at all -- isn't it still in beta? I think until the wallet opens regularly without having to reset the database (which it has done several times now), I'll just keep the btsx in Coinport.
